Re: [ST] Re: tire test reports



Am I twisted?  I love the BT-020s on my RS.  I have 5k on them, the rear 
is roughly 2/3 worn, the front looks great, they feather (like my 
Autocross stickies did) out to the edge of the tread and go like stink 
in the rain.  The Avon 45/46s *look* better and I may try them next, but 
if I never run a different tire, I could be happy.  The RS with them is 
faster than I am and faster than anyone should ride on the street.
